Herman Cain: “The role of government, in my view, is to maintain an equal balanced playing field for the citizens and for our society. Not to throw it out of balance.”

3:30 into discussion: Herman Cain on John Stossel Show, Fox News

I don't think you listened to that youtube very closely, in context, Cain is talking about supporting Individual Rights, the normal tug-of-war on the boundary lines of my rights vs. your rights.

There is no negative here.

You're looking for anything to paint Mr. Cain in a negative light.

I listened to it several times (a lot of good information in that video btw).

He was asked why government laws and he interjected -- as a stand alone point: “The role of government, in my view, is to maintain an equal balanced playing field for the citizens and for our society. Not to throw it out of balance.”

And then the discussion moved on to his personal opposition to abortion but that it was up to others' to make that choice for themselves.
